Thread: My first real attempt at a Pano

Taken from a look out in Nati National Park

Another good one Lou.

Believe it or not I can actually see two areas where blown highlights have transposed to artifacts across the top of the image. I think this is similar to what you were saying about the wag tail in the other thread. In this case though I can say it is down to the fact the image is saved at low resolution for the web and there's nothing you can really do about it.

the whole sky had blown beyond being able to get it back well....as I started to drop the exposure back the blocks became very apparent it has nothing to do with the low res...it was there before it was saved

That will do it.

It pays to take a couple of sample shots and chimp the histogram and check for highlights (I'm pretty sure the D80 allows that). Also sample meter over the entire range of the pano and choose the highest reading. You can always lighten a lot easier than you can darken an image.

Cool I will try and remember that for next time.

Derek would it have made a difference if I had a graduation filter on while holding the exposure lock?

would that have helped stop the sky from blowing out?

Yes, Grad ND would have made a lot of difference.

So because of the views I thought I would have a go at a Pano...the day unfortunately was extremely hazy so you will have to forgive that part of it...and also I was hand holding the camera and the bridges were wobbling but it didn't come out to bad I don't think...would of been nicer if the day was clear and the sun wasn't directly above me...12:30pm

Born & bred in Thirlmere, really miss the south coast.
